Recorded Webinar: Back to Basics: Shoring Up the Framework for Will Drafting
Date/Time
About the Webinar
Document construction often plays second fiddle to content when it comes to the drafting of legal documents. As a result, content and meaning can be lost or rendered ambiguous through failure to adequately plan and establish clear and appropriate structures for “housing” a legal arrangement. This session will provide a guide to setting up a best-practice will precedent in terms of format and structure as well as content, including:
- Where should a will begin and end?
- The order of things – numbering and clarity
- Definitions, names, descriptions, cross-references and other essentials
- Effective use of schedules and attachments
- Using codicils and updating wills
- Risks in using and abusing precedents
- The importance of reading, review and refresh
- Lessons from the courts.
